Quick and Easy Chocolate Coconut Drops

I often find I need something quick and easy but packed with flavor to put together and take as a gift to the neighbors or to a holiday party. These chocolate coconut drops are perfect as I can literally whip up a batch in 10 minutes!

So, whether you’ve planned ahead days in advance or you’re in a time crunch, this is definitely a recipe you want to give a try. Also, just because they’re simple, doesn’t mean they don’t taste good. These things are super scrumptious!

The best part of this recipe is that nothing has to be a completely perfect measurement and the ingredients can be manipulated to what you happen to have on hand, what you or your guests personally prefer, or whatever you decide you want to try.

Personally, I think next time I am going to try these with almond bark or dark chocolate to change things up a bit! Feel free to make your own modifications to create the perfect treat!

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Coconut Drops:

As you can see my coconut got burnt! And no, I didn’t do that on purpose for teaching purposes. I literally stepped away for a minute or less and it burned that quickly.

Word to the wise: do NOT leave your coconut while baking for any amount of time. In fact, I will cook mine with the door propped open every time I make this going forward being sure not to take my eyes off of it for any reason at all.

Next time, I also plan to use a small scoop that I typically use to measure cookies when I am creating my individual drops. This will allow me to make sure each cup has very similar measurements. Of course, that doesn’t really affect how delicious these are by any means.

Another thing I plan to do next time I make these coconut drops is to use much more festive muffin cups. Cute presentation when serving to friends never hurts!

Sure sounda good and easy but why stop there? In place of the coconut how about, chopped peanuts, pecans or finely broken pretzels using chocolate or white chocolate. Any combo of your favorites can work.

I have also had GREAT success with toasting coconut in the microwave. Put it on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds and then check and see if it is good, or do some more a few seconds at a time. Thanks for this idea, I MUST try it !!!
